Years past

On April 1, 2018 By AlexaIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Hello everyone! Happy Easter! Hope it’s been a great day for you. Today is not my usual kind of post. It’s a fashion one and it’s in black and white.

This picture started when a fellow blogger showcased this mobile home and it threw me back in time. You see I grew up in a small community where mobile homes were the norm and so for the first 10 years of my life a mobile home was just that, my home. There are so many good memories of living and growing up in this home and the neighborhood, where I played marbles, jacks and other games from the time period I grew up in. The 70’s as a child and 80’s as a teenager. I was a tomboy, in case you might wonder why I didn’t mention a doll.

Our mobile home was a double wide and behind it was a huge oak tree that today still sits behind another mobile home. I use to climb that tree and got a scar to prove it.

The station wagon is something that I needed to add as it completes the picture of home from years past. My father was a lover of big vehicles and the station wagon was our family car for many years. In this case with eight children it could have been a necessity!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend and make sure you check out credits below for everything shown.

Unmasking the truth

On November 20, 2017 By AlexaIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Don’t we wish that a 3-card spread in a tarot card reading would answer every question we had about past, present or future. Or if it could totally unmask the truth about people and situations would you be tempted to get a reading?

Share what’s your take on a tarot reading.

Thoughts unguarded

Goodbye weekend. I didn’t anticipate making a second post, but as I’m organizing my thoughts and posts for this coming week it seemed like something to do. I am showcasing the light set from DRD’s Shadowbox Series. The set contains six pieces of bathroom decor. Now if you’re not familiar with the Shadowbox subscriber boxes, please visit their web site to learn more about it as each box contains a light and dark set. The dark set this month is a little more than my brain can handle, so you might have to peruse the Flickr stream to get a look at the items in that set.

The couch with pillow decor is by [ zerkalo ], which is an older release that is discounted for the Le Six Event. The table and items on it are newer items that were previously release and can now be found at the main store.

I’m also featuring the bra and panties that I’m wearing by VoluptasVirtualis, which are at this round of Kinky Monthly. There are six colors available for you to choose from, so visit the event to get your kinky on.

Have a great one!

I got off to a late start with showcasing the Tres Chic event this month, so I’m in the midst of wrapping up my posts and the reason for a second post today. I hope you all have had an opportunity to visit this event and in case you haven’t there is still about a week left before it ends. Everything I’m wearing including the pose that I’m using can be found at this event, well, all except the new skin by *YS&YS* called Maddie. It’s part of the June Powder Pack subscription that can still be purchased at Marketplace.

In case you might have missed my initial post on the Tres Chic event this month, it’s all about ancient Greece. The lovely hair that I’m wearing is by EMO-tions and can be found in various colors and just to go off my usual I decided to go with a platinum color. The gown is by Masoom and also available in a few colors and I’ve been sort of stuck on white for a while now, which if you’ve been with me for a while my color of choice has always been black in the past. Change can be easy sometimes. The bracelet is by Enchante’ and I thought it went very well with what I was wearing as well as the shoes by Mosquito’s Way. The pose is one of a few by Luane’s World that is on offer at this month’s event. I will have one more post featuring items from Tres Chic and then all about summer decor as I get into Summerfest and no doubt maybe a couple of non summer posts and then it will probably be the start of next months events including the Home Show.

Have a great one!

Hello everyone! Last night I got reasonably good internet reception to log into SL without getting stuck every few minutes that I decided to do a couple of quick scenes and take pictures.

I managed two pictures, so I’m quite pleased. The picture for today is mostly items from the Vintage Fair and a couple from this round of Cosmopolitan. The skin I’m wearing is part of the Mercury skin gacha set by YS&YS at the Arcade. You can find the key here to see the rest of the tones in the set.

I’ve got a couple more days before I return home, but hoping to post my other picture later tonight or tomorrow.

Have a great weekend!

Seaside dining

On March 25, 2017 By AlexaIn Events, Home, Landscaping3 Comments

This is a late post as I did another post early in the day on my other blog and I’ll be gone most of the day tomorrow and leaving very early. While there are pros and cons to word-press I have to say it’s been fairly easy for me to maintain both without too much trouble. While it could save me a little work just having one blog, part of my decision was that some of my inspired fantasy role-play pictures dipped into a non-pg sort. I felt those needed to go on their own.

I almost took my last post to my other blog, but I was a bit lazy to move the credits since I had already set it up on this blog and well it did have some decor right? Though I have to say it’s also been fun doing fashion posts of late, which is something that hasn’t been my focus before.

With that said I am showing some fashion items from Tres Chic, which are the hair, chokers , romper and shoes. I’m wearing the new exclusive Evana skin by Essences at the Skin Fair used on mesh head Cate by Lelutka and mesh eyes are by .euphoric, both also at the fair.

Then the decor being featured is the beach dining set by Heart Homes, available at On9.

Have a great weekend!

The Prissy Models

This is one of those days when I am just posting for fun as I am not officially featuring anything. I’m just being a high fashion sexy model as I was told to be and well I happily obliged!

One of the best things about blogging are the friendships that can be developed as you support each other in the work that you do. I am very fortunate to have met Exis through her blog, which is an absolutely delight to read as she often has something that makes me laugh or smile. Now having met her in-world I can attest she’s just as lively and spontaneous and her genuine spirit is something that truly makes her shine.

All the credits for what she is wearing and the lovely set she put together can be found at her blog, where you can also see her version of today’s picture. You can also check out her awesome photography at her Flickr photo-stream.

Just a day away before the Skin Fair 2017 opens the doors to what you will find is an amazing array of skins, mesh heads, shapes, makeup and tattoos for both females and male.

Today I am showcasing LeLutka’s newest mesh bento head Cate, which I am using with my own shape and some modification. The skin that I picked to wear with it is from the League and called Amaia. It was made for the Simone mesh head, but also fits other heads as well. I’m wearing the suntan version, but it’s also available in 6 other tones that range from pale to dark. I am also wearing one of the satin lipsticks also by the League, the midtones. You can find these plus some gloss lipsticks at the event.

The up-do hair style I am wearing is by Iconic, a new main store release that you will find in a range of colors. I especially like the wisps of hair that just give it a sense of realism and adds that bit of depth to make the hair come alive for me.

The gorgeous Moon Shine Nails are by Astralia, and are currently at Shiny Shabby. These are made to fit the bento hands by Vista. The last item is the dress by Sahara, which is available at the Darkness Monthly Event.

More previews on the skin fair in the coming days!

I logged in this afternoon to about 40k missing in inventory and so I proceeded to log out and clear cache and logged back in for it all to load, which it did except my avatar didn’t as it was left in that floating orange gas. My body finally emerged, though my mesh head is taking a long time so I figured to get this post done since I was able to grab the credits.

Today I am showcasing all items from Cosmopolitan and Hello Tuesday. The hair and decor are available today for a heavily discounted price. The toasty fire set is 50L and the hair just 100L, really great bargains. The skin I’m wearing is by [LAKSHMI], and is available in several tones and it’s at the Cosmopolitan Room, which opened it’s new round today. The lipstick is also form the same creator.

The sports sweater top and pants are by fame femme, and there is a variety of colors for you to mix and match. I’m also featuring the pose I’m using, which is from BellePoses and this leaning pose worked great for this scene.

Have a great Tuesday!
